Pictures are very triggering and good in small doses. Hope you are feeling the best you can be! Sometimes it is good to go from feeling when you are in a safe place and able to a thinking mode when you are not. That could be unhealthy though. Not sure. Sometimes the feelings just flow and...

Not well! Oh well! Death of loved ones, friends and acquaintances are my biggest stress! Hate death! Someone I knew just died today and I just dissociate; hate it! Trying to distract here. Distraction?

Yeah! You did it!

Love the clarity you brought to the subject! Thank you!

Welcome!!!

I have found that as my stress increases my dissociation increases; I break like a mirror; first one part breaks then as the dissociation worsens I have accents and ages and don't feel like it's me. I believe I don't lose time and severe grounding and EMDR help but only very small doses of...

I refer t myself as we a lot and it drives me nuts! Always trying to cover for it! I think because the dissociation is or depersonalization is so real to me I feel like I a we. actually have a I call him " character" in my brain like a friend on the telephone. Wasn't a friend initially, enemy...

The world does appear messed up! Therapy will do that! Hugs to you!

Hi welcome!!!! Hope you feel better and find what you are looking for in healing!

What the fluff Fluff is marshmallow cream and really good with peanut butter on white bread Ghrelig Means too much stomach acid

Stickler told me look for five things that are blue and that helps a lot! I also stomp my feet I hold a rock with many edges I smell perfumed cream I try to feel the clothes on my body Deep breathing; 5 min. Inhale for 3-5 and exhale for 7 sec. Thinking relax Picture a safe place and butterflies...

Okay a bit concerned. Thought about something when I moved in 4 months ago and found out I friend requested someone on Facebook about the subject but I have no memory of sending a request and I don't think it was a mistake because it was the exact area I said I'd contact someone. Mmmmmmm any...

I worked for the government and didn't have to do that form. When they asked on the paperwork about history I just said PTSD Hope that helps

See the offer just made me feel better!!! Haha good job! I'm working on my masters now and currently working. Maybe later haha. Hope things get better!!

I am so sorry lost! You are going through a lot. I remember when my grandpa died I felt like I had DID. It's a confusing time. I applaud your efforts and doing what is best for you! Hope you are taking care of yourself!!! Lots of self care and soothing care. You did what you feel you could do...

Forgiveness is really healing and it doesn't make it all better though. People still have major issues like flashbacks, sleep disorders... It doesn't cure it all. It is very healing just not entirely. I had a lot of problems from triggers and church people thought that forgiveness was the...

As a nurse I appreciate the calls from agencies and am not always able to respond or work at that time. Remember they signed up with lots of paperwork for travel. You are doing them and hospitals a great service! You are just trying to maintain contact and nurses do appreciate it. I never felt...

Hugs for you! Been there many a time!!! It has helped me to make a list of issues and next to that, list anything I can change to make it better. Just the writing makes me sometimes feel like I have talked to someone. And then I know that I am doing my part to change things. Other times I...

Sometimes I space out and am focused on a light socket but thinking about something else. Have a lot of distractibility. Sometimes I hear the waves of the ocean. Sometimes roaring like engines at an airport. Sometimes I seem to split into 2 of me; I am sitting in a chair and watching myself...

I am so sorry!!!! Hugs to you!!!

I haven't had a lot of flashbacks but have had nightmares, intrusive thoughts, hyperarousal...One I consider a flashback felt like several head injuries I had had and it wouldn't stop. I have dissociative PTSD and I reexperience the pain of the abuse when triggered. I also start slipping into...

Sorry you are going through this! People just don't understand PTSD or the consequences of child abuse. I am glad your mom is "right with God" and that doesn't mean that you are still not suffering tremendously from her actions! Just because someone is forgiven doesn't mean they haven't caused...

Love that and Nickelback!

Be like a glow stick. Even though life may have broken you, you can still use those broken pieces to shine!!!

This may have been done already but I thought it would be good to have a thread that inspires and supports people and encourages them. Feel free to add any pictures or words of encouragement for others.
